Might it be overly generous to attribute these outcomes to recent actions by people in these instituions vs. the USD still being the world reserve currency?

The Fed deserves a lot of the credit.

Biden deserves credit for not screwing things up. "First do no harm", "a steady hand at the tiller". Trump has promised to meddle a lot more -- massive border tariffs, taking political control of the Fed, taking political control of the bureaucracy, etc.

It's sad that not screwing things up is high praise, but it is.
